1. Demonstrate intellectual curiosity and critical thinking in the learning process
2. To develop the ability to analyze and classify the arts produced in the Italian Peninsula during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
3. Be able to contextualise their different artistic manifestations.
4. Develop skills in compiling information and transmitting it in writing or orally.
5. Demonstrate the ability for synthesizing acquired knowledge.
6. Apply the information received to the analysis of other artistic works.
7. Ability to plan and complete individual or group learning projects that promote self-directed learning and critical thinking.
During lecture sessions, an interdisciplinary approach will be employed to examine the topics, facilitating the study of artworks as holistic entities. Emphasis will be placed on cultural aspects to enable proper contextualization of the works under analysis, iconographic elements to facilitate comprehension of their symbolic meanings, and formal characteristics to enhance visual sensitivity to specific modes of artistic expression.
Interactive classes will be dedicated to the analysis and discussion of various themes related to the curriculum. Students, either individually or in groups, will undertake critical readings that will serve as the basis for classroom discussion. Additionally, students will prepare and present assignments related to specific sections of the course material, fostering active engagement and deeper understanding.
Fieldwork sessions will be conducted in the city of Santiago de Compostela on dates specified in the academic schedule of the Art History program.
The evaluation will be carried out through written assessments and assignments based on the course content.
The assessments related to the material covered in the lecture sessions will account for 60% of the final grade. Activities associated with the interactive sessions (such as readings and the preparation/presentation of assignments) will account for 30% of the final grade.
Two chapters assigned by the professor from the mandatory reading book, indicated at the beginning of the course, will be subject to a short-answer question assessment and will account for 10% of the final grade.
The final grade will be determined once the student has passed more than 50% of each of the aforementioned components.
Attendance is mandatory, and roll call will be taken during interactive sessions. Excessive absenteeism, defined as more than 20% of the sessions, will result in the student being unable to be evaluated in the first opportunity.
In the second opportunity, students who have completed and passed the activities corresponding to the interactive sessions will only need to sit the exam covering the material taught in the lecture sessions. If the activities related to the interactive sessions are not passed, students will be required to take the exam for the content covered in those sessions.
Students who are granted exemption from class attendance (following the Regulamento de asistencia a clase nas ensinanzas oficiais de grao e máster da Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, aprobado por acordo do Consello de Goberno do 25/11/2024), will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will account for 100% of the grade.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests (plagiarism or use without consent of Artificial Intelligence tools), as defined in Article 42 of the Regulation establishing the rules of coexistence of the University of Santiago de Compostela and in accordance with the provisions of Article 11, the sanctions provided by the regulations will be applied.
Student in-class time:
Lecturing (expository teaching): 32 hours
Interactive teaching: 16 hours
Personal tutoring: 3 hours
Time for study and personal activity: 99 hours
Autonomous study, individual or in groups: 55 hours
Assigned readings and preparation of presentations: 44 hours
Attendance at both expository and interactive sessions is mandatory and constitutes a fundamental element for the monitoring and successful completion of the course; attendance will be recorded during interactive sessions.
From the second week onward, students are required to stay current with the material covered by the professor in the theoretical lectures, as well as the topics to be discussed in the interactive sessions. Failure to meet this requirement will undermine the effectiveness of the interactive sessions.
Students are expected to actively engage in the interactive classes through participation.
Additionally, students should make use of the personalized tutoring sessions to resolve any questions or issues related to the preparation of the course material.
